First they killed my father

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Good production but to much emotional zoomins and shots through the tree tops after every scene.

‘First They Killed My Father’ Captivates Audience in U.S.
SILVER SPRING, MARYLAND —
After its premiere in Cambodia in early September, “First They Killed My Father”, a critically acclaimed feature film portraying a child’s eye view of the Khmer Rouge period, won over the audience at a screening in Maryland.

The Hollywood movie, directed by Angelina Jolie and produced by renowned Cambodian director Rithy Panh, based on a memoir by Khmer Rouge survivor Loung Ung, was the first Hollywood film to be shot entirely in the Khmer language in Cambodia.

Upon viewing the film, many at the Cambodian screenings wept openly at its portrayal of the Khmer Rouge regime’s brutality -- the forced labor camps, starvation, and executions -- but applauded when the film ended on a hopeful note.

At the screening in Montgomery College, Silver Spring, on the outskirts of Washington, DC, viewers commented on the movie’s distinct “visual vocabulary” and the bond between hope and despair in one of humanity’s darkest hours.

....At the screening in Montgomery College, Silver Spring, on the outskirts of Washington, DC.....

funny,thats where i attended junior college in 1969

still think the movie was a let down compared to the book, plus If anyone but Jolie did it, am sure it would have not gotten as much attention.

Angelina jolie really has only really shown interest in KoW for big money, from producing hollywood flicks to advertising luxury designer brands.

Do your search on mastectomy's and I think you will find they are not fake.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

On February 16, 2013, at age 37, Jolie underwent a preventive double mastectomy after learning she had an 87% risk of developing breast cancer due to a defective BRCA1 gene.

Jolie had reconstructive surgery involving implants and allografts =@
